Steel steam and flame

"It's not that we don't want to take action, it's that the situation in front of us doesn't allow us to take action." The female voice continued, "Nonoska, have you heard about the new cemetery?" The woman had no idea of ​​the purpose of coming to the empire. Not even the slightest interest, even with an order from the Pope himself.

Nonoska turned her head and looked at the woman lying on the sofa looking at the ceiling. It is different from when they came here on the giant ocean-going ship Venetus. Women are naturally very adaptable to the surrounding environment. Not to mention the influence of clothing, just the color of the skin, Nonoska has already It was impossible to tell which country the woman belonged to.

"I heard about it. I got the news from the Kiris family." Nonoska replied, "Why, are you interested in the new cemetery? I think it's enough to know. That's not something we can care about. This time the past Anyone who comes out at random can easily wipe out all of us, just understand in your heart."

"I can't say I care, I just want to say that the new cemetery will probably attract a lot of people's attention for a period of time, right?" Hillary sat up and showed Nonoska a smile that said, "At least you guessed it wrong." , "I have been thinking about delaying this matter as long as possible, but the Pope also said that the time limit is only one year, and all the cooperating people and materials that can be mobilized will be provided by the Qilis family. You and I know Qilis The Lux family actually doesn’t want to get too involved in such a difficult job, and in the end they still have to do it on their own.”

"So while the new cemetery has attracted a lot of attention, we can also make some preparations under his influence." Hilary stood up and said, "Currently, because the target person has passed the knight squire assessment, he has disappeared from the sight of many people. , and perfectly left no clues to search for. More than a year ago, there was suddenly no trace. Even if we know that he is still alive, all subsequent actions must be careful and will not reveal any flaws. In fact, , what I am most worried about is not that there are no clues for us to follow, but..."

At an inopportune moment, the door to the room was opened, and a strong man walked in carrying a wooden box and placed it directly on the table. It was full of various types of wine.

"Did the target person leave the empire and go to other regions?" The man opened the wine and looked at Hilary and said, "Don't worry, why not just take it as a given? Don't we always have to prepare for the worst? ?"

The man who came in got himself a glass of wine, then went to sit on the sofa, "Only by going outside the empire can we not leave any clues for more than a year. If it were me, I would hide myself After that, I will definitely leave the empire immediately. The empire is not the only country that exists on the Hou Xiang Continent. What it can provide can also be provided by other countries. And there are no such dangers outside the empire, so you can feel more at ease when you rest. Why not choose?"

Looking at Hilarelli and Nonoska, the man nodded to himself and drank half a glass of wine in one gulp. "It's been more than a year since we had a relaxing time. We should take action and let the Theocracy take a look. Don't forget We have signed our names on the original contract. At this point, we have lived for decades, and many things still need to be reminded, even if we know them in our hearts."

"Kilman, how long have you been standing outside the door just now." Hilary didn't answer, but asked about this matter.

"About half a minute." Chilman shrugged his shoulders with a smile on his face, trying to put the matter aside. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Seeing that you haven't decided yet, I feel very uncomfortable standing aside. In the past, I passed The Holy See conveyed it, but this time it was the Pope who personally contacted and issued the order, so I don’t need to explain the importance.”

"Then let me make two points." Chilman finished his drink and put the quilt on his knees. "First point, Nonoska, you must have a plan in mind, but the risk is definitely very high, and It is very likely that one of the three of us will die, so that’s why we never said it, right?”

Hilary looked at Chilman, then turned her gaze to Nonoska, as if asking. But Chillman didn't need Nonoska's answer. He knew it early on, "You know that our only breakthrough is with the woman named 'Ye Jielin'. She became a knight squire through the second stage of surgery." , if this doesn’t explain the problem, then I really don’t know what to say. The relationship between the two is definitely extraordinary. Through Ye Jielin, we can obtain the traces of the target, or let the target reveal its traces on its own."

"Before becoming a knight's attendant, Ye Jielin was still a member of the Webley family. There are only thirty-six quotas in the entire empire. Although the quotas are used to balance the conflicts between forces, each of them has real power. Now I want to If Ye Jielin takes action, the cost is too high, and the journey is full of unknown uncertainties." Nonoska replied, "I have been looking for a feasible way, but I don't have a good clue yet."

"I have a proposal." Chillman said this after being prepared accordingly. "There is still danger, but it is relatively safer." After speaking and smiling, Chillman stood up and fell down. Two glasses of wine, "Intelligence collection work has been going on, and I spent time reading all the information during this year. Because Ye Jielin was targeted, I also collected relevant information. But the process was not very smooth. I finally found some clues by relying on the information stored in the Kiris family's information library. After Ye Jielin became a knight's squire, she didn't know what method she used to erase her own information, especially after the knight's squire assessment was over. , her whereabouts have always been protected, and it is difficult to find traces, at least for us."

"The intelligence collected is mainly about what happened during the assessment, as well as information about Ye Jielin when she was a student at the military school before the assessment. I filtered out some information and I think it can be used. Of course, having said so much, it actually boils down to The purpose of coming out is to take advantage of the contradictory relationships among the thirty-six knights and attendants, and use the hands of certain knights and attendants to help us complete the operation against Ye Jielin."

"I'm doing this right now." Nonoska interjected, "I just don't know if it's the same as the one you have in mind."

Chilman shook his head, "The overlap is very small, and if it is just a single knight squire, Ye Jielin will definitely not be able to eat it. After thinking about it carefully, even if Ye Jielin relied on the target person to become a knight squire, if she did not have the corresponding Ability, this year is enough for her to reveal her prototype. But the fact is that Ye Jielin's development is very, very good, so good that it makes other knight attendants jealous. So some other things must be added as a trigger, and we , and our people must also participate in order to promote such a plan.”

"Having said that, I want to say the second point in advance, just as my own comfort."
